The parliamentary secretariat announced that deputies were summoned to attend a public plenary session at 5 p.m. on Thursday, October 1, in accordance with the Constitution and the Assembly’s internal rules.

The opening begins a new period of parliamentary activity in Mauritania, with the National Assembly expected to resume consideration of legislation and other matters falling within its constitutional responsibilities.
